@ Saucy B --- I have heard Next to Normal is terrific, that was another one we talked about! And yes see Sean Hayes, he is terrific in the show!

Quite a trip! I know what you mean about the annoyance of upscale hotels NOT giving free Internet access. Makes no sense.
And good to know Sean Hayes is still in that play. Thought I might have missed it already. Although seeing Next to Normal is on tap next month for me and my mom.

I lurrrvvve no.8. Kids do cry, but they have a brief period before hitting the ground and deciding whether they are going to cry or not. It is called the 'parent's hiatus'. A brief moment of respite before the damage limitation begins!

Great list ... it made me laugh my head off!

1. I can't wait to see Promises, Promises - I'm glad it's as good as I've heard!

2. I'm dying to read Hiaasen's latest, but am trying to be cheap and wait for it to show up at my used books store. Sadly, I have no patience, so this is difficult.

3. Canadians don't know about Egyptian Rat Screw? It's the mark of a happy childhood!

4. I'm strangely tempted to buy a used European phone. And yes, you can feel free to judge me for that.

5. There is a steadfast rule about hotels - the more expensive the less you get. In everything. Internet access, breakfast, you name it, if you stay at a ritzy hotel they know you're gonna be willing to pay for it.

Sounds like you guy had a wonderful time!

12- When you are walking by the Port Authority Bus Terminal in New York and hear one upstanding citizen say very loudly to another upstanding citizen, "Honey, I KNOW you iz a dedicated ho!"... accelerate.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAA! OMG, how funny! Yeah, and that's when you KNOW you're in NYC!

It's my favorite city on the eastcoast. Brash, bold, sensory overload...but it's a one-of-a-kind GEM!

@ Elly Lou -- oops, sorry, I did intend up front to get in touch with some bloggers to meet up live and got too jammed for time. Coming back next year for sure!

@ Vicki - my brother and family are in Conn., their basketball hoop was downed by a storm and the water-filled base was cracked open, so the plan was to fill the damn thing with sand. It is huge, we did not have a really good plan. Hours later it is up and a tad wobbly...

#21. If that what they are called these days. I must go see If I can find someone's I-Pad to play with.

You are very lucky to be able to travel and with the Man you love.

What a great recap!! I need a vacation so bad. Sounds like fun! It's been 4 years since I was last in NYC. Need to get back.

I want more details on #7!

You were right here and I didn't see you?!?! Rocco is WORKING on Promises, Promises even! Boo. Hiss!

Even though I'm incredibly mad at you, I have to admit I did a little fist pump for #5. Awww yeah.
